The sky was cloudy, and there were occasional drizzles. The clouds were very low, and the mountains not far away were shrouded by the illusory clouds, making it difficult to see their true height. However, this actually added a rare majesty and mystery to these mountains.
In this boundless drizzle, at a place at the foot of the mountain, a person stood tall and straight like a mountain.
Around his body, there seemed to be an invisible wall of air. The raindrops that hit his body were all bounced off this wall of air, not drenching his clothes at all.
At this moment, his hands were slowly and lightly flipping. If someone looked at him with their eyes, they would definitely feel a strong sense of disharmony.
The pair of hands seemed to be moving slowly, as if it could be seen clearly by a person with a thousand degrees of myopia. However, there was also a feeling of flowing water. It was as if these movements were very fast, so fast that even the strongest expert would not be able to see them clearly.
At the same time, these hands gave people a feeling of extreme lightness. However, within the lightness, there was also a strong sense of steadiness that no one could ignore.
In this boundless drizzle, this man, who was as steady as Mount Tai, was constantly making two extremely contradictory hand gestures.
All of his energy had already been gathered, and there was no longer a trace of distraction.
About a hundred meters away from him, two people were standing silently.
One was a woman in snow-white clothes, and the other was the statue-like 108.
The two of them had a common characteristic, and that was silence. They stood there quietly, and other than their gazes always fixed on He Yiming, the two of them did not speak a single word from beginning to end.
In the middle of them, there was a cute, puppy-sized white pig.
It was different from ordinary pigs, and anyone who saw it would involuntarily feel a sense of love.
Although these two people and one beast were also drenched in the rain, what was surprising was that they did not have any rain gear on their bodies. Moreover, there was not a single drop of rain on their bodies either.
Yuan Lixun's body was surrounded by a chilling air that made people shiver. All the raindrops that came to a certain range suddenly turned into ice chips, silently dissipating, and did not fall on her clothes at all.
The surface of 108's body seemed to have an additional layer of strange protection. Although the raindrops fell on it, they smoothly slid to his feet.
This guy's clothes were actually transformed from his body, and there was absolutely no possibility of it getting wet.
As for the seemingly harmless Baozhu on the ground, it was even more mysterious. Around its body, the rainwater that fell from the stream was actually floating in the air, as if it was guided by some kind of mysterious power, constantly combining into various kinds of scenery.
However, no matter how the water changed, it did not approach Yuan Lixun and 108 on the two sides of its body. This showed that the Baozhu's ability to control over the rainwater had also reached a kind of attitude.
Nevertheless, to its dismay, no matter how beautiful the waves were, the two people beside it never paid attention to it.
Sometimes, the Baozhu was unusually puzzled. 'Is a person who's standing still better than my painstaking performance?'
All of a sudden, a powerful aura was released from He Yiming's body.
The aura was so enormous that it was as if a mountain was pressing down heavily. Nevertheless, it only pressed down about half of the mountain before it disappeared, and the powerful aura that seemed to be able to turn the world upside down disappeared without a trace.
He Yiming let out a long sigh filled with regret. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It's a failure."
They had been on Tianchi Mountain for a few months. Not only had they celebrated the new year on the mountain, but they had also stayed.
Ai Wenbin had invited them to stay and leave after the Opening Ceremony. He Yiming was trying his best to condense the Earth Flower at the moment, so he naturally would not refuse.
Over the past three months, He Yiming began to condense the Earth Flower after they found the beautiful place.
According to his idea, as long as he comprehended the Sky-overturning Seal and integrated the seal into his martial arts, he should be able to successfully condense the Earth Flower.
Nevertheless, the difficulty of the last step was obviously beyond He Yiming's expectations. Until now, he had not grasped the most important key.
It was as if there was a layer of film in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break it.
Yuan Lixun glanced at Baozhu, who was acting like a clown. The water dragon that was dancing in the air instantly dispersed. Baozhu turned around and jumped high. It lay behind 108 and looked at He Yiming and Li Weiran.
Now it was no longer afraid of 108, and it especially liked He Yiming and the other two. No matter where it went, it must be accompanied by one of the three.
Such an affectionate attitude made Chen Weiran envious and jealous, but there was no way to redeem Baozhu's betrayal.
"Lixun, don't scare it." He Yiming laughed and said. "My failure has nothing to do with it. Instead, your cold attribute Qi is getting stronger and stronger. Senior Li Mingxuan is really a woman of her words."
Five months ago, Yuan Lixun had already become Li Mingxuan's disciple and officially began to learn the secrets of the Rainbow Ice Palace.
Her strength was indeed improving rapidly. Although it was impossible to reach the level of One-Line-Sky in a short period of time, this kind of cultivation speed was something that even He Yiming was envious of.
Li Mingxuan originally wanted to bring Yuan Lixun to the northern border to hold an official entrance ceremony.
This was an extremely rare opportunity. If Yuan Lixun did not have the Deep Cold Physique, she would not be an exception.
However, there were only a few months before the opening ceremony of Tianchi Mountain. Under Ai Wenbin's persuasion, Li Mingxuan agreed to stay here temporarily and wait for the opening ceremony to be over before returning to the Northern Ice Palace.
As for 108, as their bodyguard, it was natural for him to follow behind them and never leave them.
In the past three months, this was the place they frequented the most. Although the scenery was beautiful, the only regret was that He Yiming had not successfully condensed the third flower.
From afar, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. In just a short moment, Liu Chengyang had already arrived. He called out in surprise, "Grand Elder He, Grand Elder Yu has arrived."
He Yiming nodded in satisfaction. Although he did not comprehend the Earth Flower, the arrival of Yu Jinglei and the others was undoubtedly good news.
The group returned to the courtyard specially prepared for the Hengshan branch on the main peak.
Not only Yu Jinglei, but even the Medicine Daoist and some core disciples were here. The total number of people exceeded fifty.
After everyone was greeted, He Yiming asked in confusion, "Grand Elder Yu, although it's the day of the competition, you brought too many people."
Yu Jinglei smiled bitterly and said, "Elder He, we have brought the hope of the Hengshan branch with us this time."
He Yiming's gaze swept over these people and frowned. These people were indeed famous in the Hengshan branch. They were also people with boundless prospects in the future. Yu Jinglei had probably brought them here with the intention of seeking protection. As long as these people were still alive, even if the Hengshan branch was destroyed, it would have a chance to rise again in the future.
He Yiming sighed softly, "Grand Elder Yu, if I hadn't killed Suo Ge and the others, you wouldn't have to face the threat of the Tuo Teng branch."
Yu Jinglei shook his head, "This has nothing to do with you. You were also framed. The one who should be torn to pieces is that devil masked man. Unfortunately, we don't know who this guy is. "
While He Yiming and Yu Jinglei were talking, the Medicine Daoist, Yu Xichen and the others were listening in silence. At that moment, the Medicine Man finally smiled. "Elder He, the opening ceremony has been brought forward by a year, and the Martial Competition of the various branches has been brought forward by a year as well. Hehe, this time, we must obtain the Primordial Golden Pellet provided by the main branch. "
He Yiming was startled, "Grand Elder Yao, are you that confident?"
"Of course, without mentioning anything else, obtaining one is at the very least." The Medicine Daoist smiled happily, clearly quite pleased with himself.
He Yiming felt strange, wondering where the Medicine Daoist's confidence came from. Although there were many talented and hardworking disciples in the Hengshan branch, He Yiming had seen many young talents in the past three months. Their overall cultivation seemed to be a level higher than the elites of Hengshan.
Therefore, He Yiming was quite surprised when the Medicine Daoist spoke with such certainty.
"Grandmaster, senior Zhu Baqi requests an audience." A disciple quickly came in and bowed.
Yu Jinglei nodded, "Let him in." Then, he muttered, "This old man's reaction is quite fast."
After waiting for a while, Zhu Baqi came in. He was very familiar with Yu Jinglei, so he did not hold back, "Brother Yu, you've gone too far."
Yu Jinglei smiled, "Brother Zhu, how have I gone too far?"
Zhu Baqi glanced at He Yiming, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Brother He, the Mountain-Opening Competition that is held once every ten years is a competition between the disciples of the various branches. Are you also going to participate?"
He Yiming was startled. He opened his mouth, but when he saw the smug looks on Yu Jinglei and the Medicine Daoist's faces, an idea flashed through his mind.
When Yu Jinglei had mentioned the Mountain-Opening Competition to him, he had casually said that he would also participate, but at that time, it was only on a whim. It was not realistic for him to actually participate.
However, He Yiming could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw the expressions of Yu Jinglei and the others.
Yu Jinglei coughed softly, "Brother Zhu, do you know the rules of the competition?"
"Of course, I is one of the people in charge. How can I not know?" Zhu Baqi said snappily.
"The rules of the competition state that anyone under the age of fifty who has not consumed a Golden Pill can participate, right?"
Zhu Baqi hesitated for a moment, and his expression was as strange as it could be.
"But, but …" Zhu Baqi hesitated for a long time, but did not say anything. After a while, he finally said, "Brother Zhu, in short, Elder He cannot participate in the competition."
Yu Jinglei said seriously, "Since Elder He has not consumed a Golden Pill and is under the age of fifty, why can't he participate?"
Zhu Baqi's face was bitter, and he finally sighed, "Brother Yu, I can't make the decision on this matter. Let my Master handle it."
Seeing him leave helplessly, Yu Jinglei and the others looked at each other and smiled. Only He Yiming shook his head and sighed bitterly. He did not think that his joke back then would actually come true …
